Speaker B explains that salvation comes only through Christ's death on the cross, not through good works or personal merit. He cites Ephesians 2:8-9 on grace through faith, arguing that heaven cannot be earned but received by accepting Christ.
Listen to this.
I can stand here tonight without being egotistical, without being conceited. I can stand here tonight and say to you on the authority of this book, I know my sins are forgiven. I know I'm going to heaven. I know that I'm going to live as long as God lives because the moment I received Christ, I became a partaker of God's own life. Now I'm going to live a billion years and I'll only have begun. I know that! Not because of any goodness of my own. I'm not going to heaven because I've lived a good life. I'm not going to heaven because I've preached to great crowds of people. I'm going to heaven because of what Christ did on that cross. For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, not of works, lest any man should boast.
Amen to that! Subscribe and share this blessing with a friend.
